Tapping Suggestions for Children

Tapping with children suggestion:

I'm a Donna Eden aficionado! Donna has been teaching Energy Medicine for decades. Example: Last weekend my head was clogged. I looked up Donna's thoughts on draining my sinuses. Following her simple instructions, within minutes, my head began to drain (after putting up with 2 weeks of it being clogged!).

While reading I found another of her suggestions. Sorry, I don't know how to shorten this so it will still make sense.

"Tapping the k-27 points (in EFT that is our collarbone points) 'flips' your energies around. It is so simple and unobtrusive to tap or massage K-27 points that you can use this technique in a classroom or business meeting.

"Tapping the K-27 points not only can keep you awake, but also can help you think more clearly {I also suggest the gamut point on the back of the hands}. I have countless times seen children in school, sitting at a desk, looking first at what the teacher is writing on the blackboard and then looking back to the desk. By the time some children's eyes reach the desk, their mind is blank or the information has become totally muddled. The energy circuitry has been disrupted by this up and down movement of the eyes. THIS IS THE MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION TO DISENGAGE A TRAUMATIC STRESS RESPONSE FROM A TRAUMATIC MEMORY, but it can also keep you from absorbing new information.

"By tapping K-27, however, the energy circuitry will hold strong even as the child's eyes move up and down. THIS TECHNIQUE IS ALSO HELPFUL WITH DYSLEXIA AND OTHER LEARNING DISABILITIES, AS WELL AS ANY SITUATION, SUCH AS TENNIS OR READING, WHERE YOUR EYES ARE SHIFTING FROM ONE SPOT TO ANOTHER."

The K-27 points (collarbone tapping spots) are juncture points that affect all of the other meridians.

Donna suggests that one consider tapping with hands crossed over the chest (tap right K-27 with left hand, and tap left one with right hand) because it assists "the energy in crossing over from the left-brain hemisphere to the right side of the body" and vice versa.

For what this is worth......I may just tap with my hands crossed sometimes for the heck of it!

EFT & Wellness

Dr. Candace B. Pert, Ph.D., Everything You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d, Hay House, Inc., Carlsbad, California, 2006, page 35. Dr. Pert writes:

"'This psychosomatic network requires a new way of thinking about physiology in order to be understood.  In the reigning-paradigm mind-set, the term psychosomatic is used pejoratively, as if symptoms that are psychosomatic are false and don't deserve attention or treatment. After all, they can't be 'real,' because they're all in your mind!

"But in the new view of medicine and wellness, a psychosomatic state is the basis for a fresh approach to healing disease; for feeling well emotionally; and for creating a different, more desirable reality. Yes, your symptoms are in your body, but they are also always in your mind, either consciously or subconsciously. Mind and body are not split in two, so what happens in one occurs in the other, too.  This is the fundamental tenet of what I call the new-paradigm physiology.'"

Rene Descartes (1596-1650) began this dualistic split between spirit and body in the 16th century. Up until that time the Church frowned upon scientists probing the body to find its "secrets". It was pretty much simply forbidden. Because he was a mathematician & scientist, he looked at everything in those terms. Mathematics defined the entire physical world. The physical could be seen, but the mental (emotional & spiritual) could not, and Descartes separated them into two completely different realms. In his mind, neither one had anything to do with the other. If the mental, meaning spiritual, can't be measure then it all fell outside the walls of the scientific castle. It was left to the priests to decide. Scientists wouldn't touch it.

This all worked well for a couple of centuries, as it kept the scientists out of prison for meddling in spiritual affairs of the mind. It also has given us today a very mechanical sort of medicine. Take a pill and all will be well. Most physicians aren't taught, nor have, or take the time today to ask a patient what is going on in their lives, meaning emotionally or spiritually. Thus, we still are suffering the effects of Descartes' philosophy.  It's doesn't seem to be serving us too well anymore.

Illness is more than just a mechanistic breakdown of the body. And the paragraph above from Dr. Pert shows, there is a new approach to medicine. Much more is happening than meets the physical eye. Our emotions and spiritual state do impact our health.  In fact, they probably impact us more than we could ever rightly imagine.

As this new approach and the new scientific evidence continues to mount, it is time we all begin to reexamine our health in light of these new, or resurrected, ideas. Spirit was once part of medicine, back centuries, when the whole man was treated. Unfortunately, centuries ago we didn't have antibiotics or surgery to help heal, as we do now.

Many of the complementary "energy medicine" modalities of today are beginning to reconnect these 2 realms. If the emotional health impacts physical health, why not use both to treat disease? Why not explore & "pull out" any negative emotional events, and then treat what is left of the disease with modern medicine? Sometimes, negative emotional events can also be associated with some spiritual issue, too, like unforgiveness or unconfessed sin. Illness is the effect of sin in our world. Because EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) does ease many physical symptoms because those same symptoms are rooted in emotional/spiritual events of the past, maybe time has come to consider using it in addition to conventional medical treatment?
